WATCH: Even CNN is calling Biden a liar in brutal fact-check



Joe Biden’s speech at the DNC this week was so chock-full of lies that even CNN — one of the most left-leaning news outlets in existence — called him out.

Dave Rubin plays a clip of CNN’s Jake Tapper and Daniel Dale discussing the various lies and half-truths in the president’s speech.

“What did you make of [Biden’s speech]?” Tapper asked Dale.

“There were certainly some false or misleading claims there, especially on the subject of the economy,” Dale responded, pointing to the moment in the speech when Biden said: “We used to import products and export jobs. Now we export American products and create American jobs — right here in America!”

“This claim is misleading,” Dale criticized, noting that while “U.S. exports of goods have increased under President Biden ... we are still importing a whole lot of stuff too.”

Further, another thing Biden “didn’t mention is that U.S. imports have increased during his presidency ... in fact increased by more than exports have increased, so therefore, the trade deficit in goods has increased under President Biden, not declined as this claim suggested.”

“It was over $1 trillion in each of his first three years in office; it had never hit that level before,” Dale elaborated before pointing to another misleading statement made by Biden during his speech.

“We have a thousand billionaires in America. You know what their average tax rate they pay [is]? 8.2%!” the president exclaimed in feigned outrage.

“An expert at the Nonpartisan Tax Policy Center has told me this number is quote ‘way too low,”’ Dale corrected.

While “the average federal tax rate for billionaires is 8.2%, what [Biden] doesn't explain is that that number is not an actual tax rate. What it is is an alternative calculation from economists in his own administration that factors in unrealized capital gains that are not actually treated as taxable income under current law.”

“Biden himself uses it like it's a tax rate under current law; it's not,” Dale told Tapper, adding that the tax rate billionaires actually pay is “not publicly known,” but “a study from two well-known economists estimated that the top 400 households paid an average effective tax rate of 23% in 2018 — much higher than the president's number.”

Viral video shows striking similarities of Joe Biden's 2020 DNC speech and 2008 DNC speech



Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden delivered his nomination acceptance speech at the 2020 Democratic National Convention on Thursday night. Some viewers noticed striking similarities between his acceptance speech at the 2020 DNC and his acceptance speech as Barack Obama's vice president at the 2008 DNC.

The two speeches shared especially similar platitudes, and at times, Biden used the exact same wording. Here are some of the examples of how the two speeches are notably similar despite being delivered 12 years apart.

2008: "It's about whether you can look your children in the eye and say, 'We're going to be okay.'"

2020: "It's about looking your kids in the eye and say, 'Honey, it's going to be okay.'"

2008: "That's how you come to believe, to the very core of your being, that work is more than a paycheck. It's dignity. It's respect."

2020: "He would say, 'Joey, a job is about a lot more than a paycheck. It's about your dignity. It's about respect.'"

2008: "Barack Obama will transform our economy by making alternative energy a genuine national priority, creating 5 million new jobs and finally freeing us from the grip of foreign oil. That's the change we need."

2020: "With pipes that transport clean water to every community. With 5 million new manufacturing and technology jobs so the future is made in America."

2008: "Barack Obama will put more cops on the streets, put the 'security' back in Social Security and never give up until we achieve equal pay for women."

2020: "I will not let it happen. If I'm your president, we're going to protect Social Security and Medicare."

2008: "And this is the time as Americans, together, we get back up."

2020: "It's an America we can rebuild together."

2008: "These are extraordinary times. This is an extraordinary election."

2020: "All elections are important. But we know in our bones this one is more consequential."

The comparison video of Biden's two speeches racked up nearly 30,000 Likes and over 1.2 million views on Twitter in less than 24 hours.

Besides being accused of replicating his own DNC speech from 2008, Biden found himself fending off allegations of plagiarism in his 2020 DNC acceptance speech.

Canadians spotted noticeable commonalities between Biden's Thursday night speech and the farewell letter written by liberal Canadian politician Jack Layton, who was the leader of the New Democratic Party before his passing in 2011.

Biden was also accused of plagiarism during his failed 1988 campaign for the White House.
